Tong Bin / 童宾
Tong Bin / 童宾 is the kiln-worker legend discussed in No.213 景德镇往事：千年“世界瓷都”的前世今生. The episode connects him to Wanli-era dragon-jar production, worker pressure, kiln danger, a later “风火仙师” cult, and the boundary between craft history and mythic memory.
The source treats the self-sacrifice part of the story cautiously. Tong Bin is useful to the wiki because the legend records how imperial kiln demands, low yield, dangerous firing, and worker grievance could become religious and labor memory inside the Imperial Kiln System / 御窑体系.
